I sit here, poised, thinking about where to even begin since my last update in the land of Tillamook Cheese. As always, a lot has happened since setting off again. I've since made a couple of side trips, gotten lost, encountered some 70 mile winds and have climbed some of the steepest hills I've seen yet. However, with every challenging situation I've encountered, there always seem to be good people ready and willing to help me just around the corner. It is only appropriate that I begin where I left off. I had planned on making a side-trip into Portland to see a really great friend of mine, whom I hadn't connected with in almost three years. For this, I decided to ride the bus east into the city. I was planning on catching the bus at 2pm. the following day, when suddenly I realized that I had an old bus schedule and missed the bus two days in a row! I was hitting myself over the head and wondering if perhaps this was some kind of sign that I wasn't meant to go to...
Oh Nao! Thank-you so much for sharing your beautiful photos, I'm always so thrilled so see your beautiful smiling face throughout this journey! The redwoods are STUNNING, lucky gal! Hopefully you were able to spend a few nights tucked nearby those friendly giants :) I noticed you have some new gear, flashy road vest eh ;) nicely done! You had a pretty swanky view from that bedroom window also, where was that spot? I'm so glad that you've traveled far enough south that you are no longer waking up with frost and snow all around you, but instead the warmth of the sun. Hope you have a fantastic rest of the adventure along the beautiful coastline, play in the Californian sand, give a big wave to Half Moon Bay for me when you pass by ;) As always, wish that I could be with you.. but in the meantime, sending enormous amounts of love, support, and postive vibes your way.

Beautiful pictures! Avenue of the Giants hey! I can't even imagine how you felt biking amongst those enormous ancient trees! That coastline as well must have been an incredibly emotional ride. How did you feel relaxing alone on those peaceful beaches with the pounding swell as ambiance? I love the journey you have accomplished! I am inspired. Thank you
